A member asked:
Got slightly high porphyrin and dr wants direct coombs, what is he trying to find? he hasn't explained what may be wrong
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ask him.: Perhaps doctor is investing other possibilities. A normal direct Coombs test is strong evidence against autoimmune hemolytic anemia. Slighty high porphyria may be hard to interpret. Very high porphyria is seen in some kinds of porphyria.
